The table was laden with Tang Qiqi's favorite dishes. Zhao Di asked, "Little glutton, where did you come from?"

While eating, Tang Qiqi said, "Don't even mention it. My mother asked me to give her some advice on how to find someone to marry you off. I thought that since you don't agree to this, it would be a waste of time to find someone else to marry you off. So I just slipped over here."

Zhao Di sighed, "My mother urges me to get married eight hundred times a day. I feel like she'd want to give me away to any man who's married."

"Qiqi, you even managed to find things to do for Niandi and Pandi, so find something for Mother to do too, so she'll forget about this!"

Tang Qiqi pouted: "Big sister, Mom and Grandma only have one thing on their minds: getting you married. She's dumped all the accounts on me now, and spends all her time asking around among all the aunts and uncles where there's a suitable man!"

Zhao Di was speechless; she knew that soon her grandmother and mother would be bombarding her with questions.

As Tang Qiqi was eating, she heard the waiter say, "Young Master Lu, please come upstairs." Always eager to stir up trouble, she said, "Big sister, the day before yesterday, Mother and I met Young Master Zhao from the neighboring Tuqiao County. He's really quite something! So dashing and handsome, he's a perfect match for you!"

Zhao Di glared angrily at Tang Qiqi, wanting her to shut up, but Tang Qiqi quickly gave her a look, signaling her not to speak.

Zhao Di was confused, but obediently kept quiet.

Tang Qiqi continued, "This Young Master Zhao is not only handsome, but his family is also one of the most prominent in Tuqiao. He and our family are a good match."

Zhao Di became more and more confused as she listened. These words sounded more and more like what her mother would say. Tang Qiqi would never say such things.

Tang Qiqi looked out the door and deliberately raised her voice, saying, "What's most admirable is this young master Zhao's temperament. His mother arranged for him to marry her own cousin, but he refused and insisted on choosing his own wife!"

Zhao Di glanced at the familiar figure outside the door and finally understood who Tang Qiqi was talking to. She smiled and said, "Qiqi, this Young Master Zhao you're talking about is probably a rebellious and unfilial spoiled brat, isn't he?"

Tang Qiqi, fully engaged, suddenly stood up and said, "I say, eldest sister, the Zhao family's business is all run by Young Master Zhao. What kind of spoiled brat is he? Not listening to his mother's arranged marriage is unfilial. This is called bravely pursuing love!"

His mother resorted to crying, making a scene, and even threatening suicide, but Young Master Zhao wasn't intimidated. He came directly to Huaiyuan to propose marriage. He must have visited your shop; do you find it appealing, elder sister?

Zhao Di was taken aback by the question. Thinking of the people standing outside the door, she couldn't bear it and said, "Hundreds of people come to eat at my shop every day. How would I know any Young Master Zhao or Young Master Li!"

"Big sister, do you really think you should consider this young master Zhao? Brother Tianyu said he's deeply in love with you, but I always feel he's not sincere. It's been three years, and he still hasn't won over his mother. She said you'll suffer if you marry him; she doesn't agree to it!"

These words struck a chord with Zhao Di. She said, "Stop calling him 'Brother Tianyu' all the time. People who don't know us will think our family is very close to him!"

"Big sister, don't think I can't tell you like Brother Tianyu just because you always have such a cold face. It's a pity that Brother Tianyu isn't up to par. Even I have my eye on Young Master Zhao!" Tang Qiqi said deliberately.

"Tang Qiqi, eating won't shut you up!" Zhao Di picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Tang Qiqi's mouth.

The figure outside the door paused for a moment, then left silently.

"Young Master Lu, are you leaving already?" The waiter's enthusiastic voice rang out again, but Lu Tianyu did not reply.

After a while, Tang Qiqi carefully ate the meat in her mouth, then said with a mischievous smile, "Big sister, this is all I can do to help you. If Brother Tianyu still can't show his sincerity, I'll really have to like Young Master Zhao and make him my brother-in-law!"

Zhao Di, however, became saddened. She said softly, "Young Master Lu's mother has a chronic illness that can be very serious if it relapses. He has his reasons. Have we gone too far today and cornered him?"

Tang Qiqi looked at Zhao Di with disdain and said, "Big sister, what are you after? When he was around, you were always cold and indifferent, and now you're suddenly feeling sorry for him? Let me tell you, you can't be soft-hearted about this. He has to show some attitude. No matter how good Lu Tianyu is, if he can't protect you, our whole family will never agree to you two being together!"

Zhao Di was touched by Tang Qiqi's mature demeanor. She smiled wryly and said, "It doesn't matter if you disagree, the Lu family doesn't agree to this either!"

Tang Qiqi smiled mischievously and said, "Big sister, I told you long ago that I have a way to get Madam Lu to agree. Just give the order and I'll do it right away."

Zhao Di said with a sullen face, "Don't meddle this time. Even if you manage to get Madam Lu to agree, she'll still cause trouble later. I don't want to spend my future dealing with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts. This matter requires Lu Tianyu's attitude. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether I get married or not!"

Tang Qiqi said bluntly, "What you said at the beginning was fine, but the last sentence was a bit like sour grapes. You've rejected so many talented young men for Lu Tianyu, but you still won't admit that you can't marry anyone but him!"

Zhao Di, having been touched on a sore spot, pulled Tang Qiqi up without hesitation and said, "Seventh Miss, I'm closing up shop here. You should have eaten and drunk your fill. Mother is really worried. Why don't you try to persuade your second sister?"

Tang Qiqi was quick-witted and grabbed a plate of food with one hand, saying, "There's so much left, what a waste! Let me finish it!"

Zhao Di looked at her with doting eyes and said, "Eat, eat, or you'll get as fat as a ball!"

The two sisters started bickering again, but Lu Tianyu wandered the streets with a heavy heart.

To be honest, I am truly ashamed. Tang Qiqi is right. For three years, I have been professing my loyalty to Zhao Di every day, but I have not been able to solve the problem at its root.

I blame myself for being too blind to the situation. I always thought that Zhao Di's coy attitude towards me meant she didn't like me enough. But today, I overheard the sisters' conversation and it dawned on me that Zhao Di was dissatisfied with his handling of the issues between him and his mother.

Lu Tianyu had originally decided that as long as Zhao Di agreed, he wouldn't mind not becoming the heir of the Lu family; he would just open a shop with her and work as her waiter.

He did indeed express his feelings to his mother, saying that he had decided on Zhao Di for life and asking her not to cause Zhao Di any more trouble.

However, his mother had a chronic illness, and he dared not upset her too much. He always thought of delaying the problem, thinking that if he remained unmarried for so long, his mother would eventually agree.

But I never expected my mother to be so stubborn this time. Three years have passed and she still hasn't given in. Even though I tried many dirty tricks to scare away all the girls my mother introduced me to, she still happily arranged for me to "bump into" other people!

Lu Tianyu knew it was time to confront his mother. Tang Qiqi had always been optimistic about him, and even she spoke highly of that young master Zhao. This wife, who was practically his, was now flying away.

Lu Tianyu finally made up his mind. For the sake of his beloved girl, he couldn't let his mother do whatever she wanted this time.

Three days later, Lu Tianyu arrived at Zhao Di's restaurant with his bedding.

Zhao Di asked, bewildered, "Lu Tianyu, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Tianyu shamelessly said, "Zhao Di, I've come clean with my mother. If she doesn't agree to me marrying you, I'll run away from home and become your live-in son-in-law. My mother told me to get lost, so I've come to find you. Zhao Di, you have to take me in!"

Zhao Di said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm here to run a business, I don't have time to chat with you!"

Lu Tianyu, still looking pitiful, said, "Zhao Di, if you don't take me in, I'll be homeless. Don't worry, I won't stay for free. I can do any job, from waiting tables to odd jobs!"

At this moment, a handsome man dressed in white with a sword at his waist walked over and said, "Miss Zhaodi, is someone causing trouble? Don't be afraid, I will definitely beat him to a pulp!"

As I said this, I drew my sword and thrust it straight at Lu Tianyu!
